Sam Bankman-Fried celebrates 33rd birthday in prison
The former CEO of defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX said he could be in his “late 50s” by the time he is released.
Former FTX CEO Sam “SBF” Bankman-Fried, sentenced to 25 years in 2024 for his role in misusing customer funds, gave another interview from prison before his 33rd birthday.
Speaking to right-wing political commentator Tucker Carlson on March 5, Bankman-Fried talked about prison life since his sentencing and his thoughts on crypto regulation in the United States. Though Carlson did not directly ask the former FTX CEO whether he expected to receive a pardon from US President Donald Trump, SBF seemed to warm to some Republican ideas during the interview.
